Council’s Dump For Free Month Returns This October

It is time to spring clean, and to help make the cleaning less draining, Griffith City Council has announced the return of the Dump for Free Month next month.

Less draining on the pocket, anyway.

Residents can dispose of general domestic waste, including garden debris and mixed recyclables, free of charge from Tuesday, October 1 to Thursday, October 31.

Council’s Waste Operations Manager, John Roser said the Dump for Free Month in March had been a huge hit with locals.

“We are really happy to have expanded our Dump for Free so that we can provide our community with more opportunities to responsibly dispose of their waste,” Mr Roser said.

“The feedback we received from March was extremely positive.

“I urge everyone to get busy with spring cleaning so you can take advantage of this offer.”

Throughout October, each household is entitled to dispose of up to two standard loads, with a maximum of four car tyres per load.

Commercial or agricultural tyres will not be accepted.

A standard load is defined as equivalent to a car and trailer combination or a single car or ute load.

It is crucial to adhere to the guidelines for a smooth and efficient disposal process.

Hazardous materials such as asbestos will not be accepted during the Dump for Free event.

Council encourages responsible disposal and urges residents to use the free Community Recycling Centre (CRC) located at the Tharbogang Waste Management Facility.

The CRC serves as a permanent drop-off location for common household problem wastes that can’t be collected through Council kerbside waste and recycling collection services.

Accepted items at the CRC include paint, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, motor oils, other oils, car and household batteries, smoke detectors, and fluorescent globes/tubes.

The Tharbogang Waste Management Centre will be open from 8 am to 5 pm, seven days a week.

Additionally, the Yenda Centre will be open from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sundays only.
